love is chemical

with a just little bit of soul

love is lust's appetite

far too out of control

love is all habit

and settling into a routine

love is the forgivable inability

to remain serene

love is a slow clotting

in logic's unhealthy arteries

love is honest mistakes

before scripted apologies

love is a destination

but a stop away from tragedy

love is pathological

if given unconditionally

love is a euphoric poisoning

of the orgasmic kind

love is a selfish trick

one's heart plays on the mind
